Today after work I took the FireBlade up to the guys at Metropolis in Barnet for the final part of the great tyre transfer of 2014. Off with the track focussed Metzeler and on with the Pirelli GT Angels, which are far better for the winter months ahead. When the bike was up on the ramp, Artur noticed that the head race bearings were a little notchy, which a bit annoying as when I bought it, it was one of the areas I asked them to check. Im sure they were fine when I got it, but have clearly gone off over the last three months. A job for the end of winter me thinks.
When I got home, I was glad to see that my Scorpion Exhaust has finally arrived. Was four weeks worth it? Well it seems so. The transplant was easy enough, taking 10mins at the most. So off with the OEM 'Scud Missile Launcher' (TM - Ben Pullenayegum) and on with a more shiny and slightly smaller neater end can. I've already taken the baffle out and its certainly a visual improvement, lets hope that the pedestrians can actually hear me coming down the road now. Well, one can hope.

This morning I also realised that there are few things in this world brighter than the fuel light on this 'Blade. Its seriously dazzling at night and it actually hurts to look at it. The only things I can think of that are brighter are those red LED hotel alarm clocks and the Sun, so I guess there will be no excuses if I run out of fuel...again.
